Yikes. I see that my crypto-is-toast musings have been prescient. How ironic that the most calamitous asset failure of our lifetimes is something I never dare short. Anyway……….one last Krazy Konclusion, since these dogs aren’t doing to walk themselves:

I spent part of my Father’s Day doing my favorite thing in the world: dorking around with historical price data and playing around with charts.
